6 ill after contact with flu cases

Six people who were quarantined after possible contact with Japan's first confirmed swine flu cases were taken to hospital on Saturday after falling ill. They were among 49 passengers isolated by authorities on Friday after arriving at Narita international airport, near Tokyo, with three Japanese citizens who were found to be suffering from the disease. The three - a 46-year-old teacher and two 16-year-old students from the western city of Osaka - tested positive for the A(H1N1) virus after the flight from Detroit.
